I was telling people I back handed a cactus, though, and no one batted an eye.

Was the cactus being a prick?

I'm surprised I haven't burned myself worse at work. I have had slight burns on my hands and wrists due to the cappuccino steamer,oven, hot pots, pans, hot splashing oil. I honestly don't know how I walk out alive everyday.

so my parents have been visiting all this month. just got back today from road tripping up to canada and niagara falls.
view from our hotel room:
niagara falls is pretty amazing, so many rainbows! we did the boat ride, it was great but I wish it lasted longer:
went to a blue jays game in toronto for my dad's birthday
ate in a flying saucer:

I heard the better view argument, but I'm not sure what 'better view' they're getting, other than that you might get a more front on view of the horseshoe if you go out on that viewing platform thingy. But you can get that view from the boat, too. Also the Hard Rock is on the Canadian side, unless there are two? Seemed like the only thing on the American side was the one huge Casino. The taxes in Canada and Niagara Falls particularly are pretty brutal though! 13% sales tax and an extra 3% in the tourist areas of Niagara. Crraazzzy. But besides that, it's truly an awesome place to visit. I could have stared at those falls all day.

I only remember the Hard Rock on the state side but, after looking it up, there is one on both sides of the falls. I haven't been to the falls in about nine or ten years (before the American casino--I went to the Canadian casino once but it really wasn't my thing) but we always walked across The Peace Bridge (awesome view from there), visit the gardens just over the border and eat at The Rainforest Cafe. Quit going because. after 9-11, it was taking too long to cross the border and, now, I'm too lazy to get a passport. I might take the kids to see the Christmas lights in a couple of years but, other than that, there's not much on the state side.
